Practiced in martial arts, knife throwing is an affordable, thrilling game of skill in which both sexes and all ages can take part. It can be mentally and physically challenging, however, the fun and excitement of the sport is well worth the investment.
There are two types of throwing knives for sale, balanced and unbalanced. The center of gravity is the true center of a balanced knife and it follows a near circular trajectory while in flight. The unbalanced knife has a heavier handle and is usually thrown by gripping the lighter end causing a less predictable trajectory flight.

There is a type of knife manufactured that has an adjustable weight that can slide the length of the blade, allowing the one knife to function as both a balanced and unbalanced knife.
Throwing knives are unlike most other types of knives because they are made of a solid sheet of stainless steel or a tempered high carbon steel and constructed in a single-piece, not in two pieces where the handle is made separately from the blade.

The sharpened half of the throwing knife is the blade. The unsharpened half of the knife, called the grip, allows for safe handling by the thrower and balances the weight of the blade.
The power of the impact when throwing a knife is determined by the weight and the throwing speed. A lighter throwing knife can be easier to throw but might not penetrate the target properly. Heavier throwing knives are more stable in flight and can cause more damage to a target, however, more strength is needed to throw them accurately.

There is an endless choice of throwing knives for sale. Any knife with a little weight and a sharp point can work, although, each knife can have a different technique to throwing, based on the weight, the grip and blade construction.
A hunting knife, for instance, has a different weight and grip than a true throwing knife. A true throwing knife for sale has no sharp edges, only a sharp point, rounded corners that are safer and is built thick enough not to bend the tip.
The throwing knife should be at least 200 grams in weight, as anything less will take more skill and accuracy to throw. The best blade is a solid one, as any hole in the knife can make it shatter more easily.
